Adyen reviews

Horrible culture - This company very much acts like a start-up (heavy drinking culture, young gossipy environment) while the reality is that this is an established large scale global organization No Growth Opportunity - Related to the point above. They promise you that they are a growing company filled with opportunities but in reality they are already established and all higher up roles get hired externally. Internal mobility has become relatively impossible. Team Leads - Adyen has a huge middle management problem. Too many people were moved into management roles in the start up phase of the company when they clearly weren’t ready to lead a team. Now we have way more team leads than needed, with most of them being inexperienced, incompetent, and overbearing.

Toxic environment especially within Merchant Operations / AML - turnover is incredibly high, many people leave after a few months or sometimes within first weeks after realizing what they got themselves into - no foresight, planning or adequate training. Lack of organization is framed as “fintech mentality” - managers lack management skills, bow down to the pressure from above without resistance - analysts seem to be treated like disposables, the company relies heavily on external contractors with no intention to keep them. No integration or development opportunities
